Letter: Coke's TV spot was beautiful

I have followed with amusement the controversy caused by Coke's Super Bowl commercial featuring the song "America the Beautiful," sang (in different idioms) by a wonderful ensemble of bilingual American girls.

The sound of many voices in varied languages, rising to the heavens in unison, in praise and love for America is uplifting. Singing praise for America (by bilingual Americans) in any language should be a source of pride for all, multilingual and monolingual Americans.

America is blessed with citizenry composed of every ethnicity, race and language that exists in the world. What a beautiful rainbow America is for the rest of the world to see.

Where on earth can people proudly sing praise for their country in any language? Only in America.

It makes me want to exclaim, "Viva America!"
